My son has followed the Norwegian school system, where they start school at six. So he had not yet started school when we moved to London.
He came here knowing capital letters, and the alphabet.
The SN teacher is convinced he will be on par with the other children in his class by Christmas. I think it is going to be hard work.
He needs to learn how to read, and spell!
He speaks English, but naturally not as well as the British children in his class.
I think I am going to need a lot of handholding, and a lot of patience.
How can I ensure he stays motivated through all this work?
He will get 10 new words ever week, 4 reading books, and spellings, in addition to mathematics homework. We will review after half term.
